Lovely but unsuccessful afternoon on the Lugg.

River came up slightly the previous afternoon / evening and although was dropping slowly remained slightly coloured. Some fly life - mainly a trickle of yellow may duns, medium olives and even the odd mayfly. Rising fish hard to find and very sporadic. Managed two modest fish on emerger pattern late in the day.

no luck!

Very pleasant day if a bit too windy for me. Nothing rising so default position is a couple of Endrick spiders. All fish caught in one area just below the pylons where the river bends and narrows before the island. Managed to achieve a first by catching a shad. Beware the route to the enclosure from the gate as you need to keep to the river edge bank. I parked and stayed by the gate and as a result walked a bit more and started at the upstream limit. Wading good and not slippery.

2 decent brown trout 14”, just under 1lb each. Caught in the afternoon between showers on a bibio over flooded grass a metre off waters edge, at the far end furthest from dam. Water level very high and quite breezy.

A much wetter day today. Very few fish rising. No offers at all. The rain made us beat a hasty retreat in the afternoon. lovely place. We'll be back.

Rain stopped playing. Try again tomorrow.
